"The reasons behind the systematic crimes are: extractivism, coca crops and monoculture expansion, a vivid struggle for land control in rural areas."

At today’s “No to TFFF” press conference at the People’s Embassy in Belém:“80 cents per hectare isn't even enough for a cup of coffee in Indonesia. People continue to defend their forests, and we, the indigenous peoples of Indonesia, recognize the TFFF as illegitimate.” -GFC member Satrio #COP30

“TFFF may seem like a good thing because it isn’t carbon markets, it’s commodification of nature. The financial mechanism is wrong, and we must urgently come together as peoples to stop this mechanism.” —Marylou Malig today in #Belem #NoTFFF

Press conf today at Belém: “The TFFF is a scam, a colonial legacy, which is not addressing the structural causes of deforestation. The TFFF is a false solution to climate change and forest conservation. It is a distraction.” —Kwami Kpondzo, Centre por la Justice Environnmentale Togo #NOTFFF #TFFF

We've been tracking the Tropical Forest Forever Facility #TFFF since it was first discussed a year ago at the G20 in Rio. ICYMI, here is our in-depth analysis of this mechanism: globalforestcoalition.org/report-tfff/

“TFFF is the old colonization dressed in green.” They want to convince us that selling the forest is saving it, but what they are doing is handing it over to the control of financial capital.” -Sila Mesquita Apurinã, Rede de Trabalho Amazônico – GTA demandclimatejustice.org/2025/11/06/t... #TFFF

As we head to UN climate negotiations at UNFCCC #COP30 in Brazil, listen to HOME Alliance member Kwami Kpondzo of @gfc-forest.bsky.social sharing why carbon markets are opening the door to geoengineering. These markets are nothing but a smokescreen, an act of carbon colonialism. #NoGeoengineering

Carbon markets are a false solution. Read the statement by 55 Latin American and Caribbean movements and groups, denouncing 80+ examples of land deals used to produce carbon credits, fuelling land grabs and the destruction of local food systems. grain.org/e/7322 @mst.org.br @gfc-forest.bsky.social
